Description
Shot in my garden using natural light. Background is worn wood filled with wormholes, stripped out of a 1940's art deco dresser that had seen better days.
No other flower has quite the mystique or reputation that the tulip has. The tulip is capable of exciting emotions in a way that no other flower ever has. After being brought from the Ottoman Empire to Europe in the 1500s, they became such a popular and coveted item that a brief frenzy of speculative madness resulted, in which people paid outrageous prices for a single bulb. When the bubble burst, prices collapsed and many buyers were bankrupt, but the reputation of the tulip as a flower that could stir passions was forever cemented.
